The Product - Ice Cube (艾斯·库伯)[00:00:00]
I was told cause I didn't witness the whole act[00:00:22]
In and out was the movement of the bozack[00:00:24]
It was hot and sweaty and lots of pushin[00:00:27]
Then the nut came gushin[00:00:29]
And it was hell tryin to bail to the ovary[00:00:31]
With nuttin but the Lord lookin over me[00:00:33]
I was white with a tail[00:00:35]
But when I reached the finish line [00:00:37]
Young black male [00:00:38]
One cell made two and two cells made fo'[00:00:40]
And so on so now I'm a embryo[00:00:42]
Then I got a hunch[00:00:44]
That I'ma be on lockdown for nine months[00:00:46]
Chillin with my mother to guide me[00:00:48]
And nuttin but a stomach to hide me[00:00:50]
From all that worry and bullshit[00:00:53]
Nine months later I elbow pull and kick[00:00:55]
Cause my time is up and I don't care[00:00:57]
With one big push I'm outta there[00:00:59]
June 15th it's just my luck[00:01:01]
In 1969 a ni**a is the product[00:01:03]
"Ghetto a** ni**a you ain't sh*t [00:01:07]
And you ain't gon' never be sh*t "[00:01:08]
I learned how to walk and talk and all that[00:01:15]
They put me in school but it don't matter[00:01:17]
Cause I'm sittin in history[00:01:19]
Learnin bout a sucker [00:01:20]
Who didn't give a f**k about me[00:01:22]
They try to shape us[00:01:24]
But I know Uncle Sam is a motherf**kin rapist[00:01:25]
So I stopped payin attention[00:01:27]
Ice Cube headed straight to detention[00:01:29]
F**k that sh*t I roam the hallways[00:01:32]
I'm sent home and I don't got all A's[00:01:34]
A high school dropout[00:01:36]
My father had beef so I tried to knock pops out[00:01:38]
But I got tossed he's the boss[00:01:41]
I'm out of there and mad cause I lost[00:01:43]
Now bein on my own is a factor[00:01:45]
So I become the neighborhood jacker[00:01:47]
Gimme your car run your jewels[00:01:50]
Makin a livin robbin fools[00:01:52]
And if I let my nine rang out[00:01:54]
You know it'll make your brains hang out[00:01:56]
So what's your fate [00:01:58]
Am I the ni**a you love or the one you love to hate [00:02:00]
The wrong answer is said the ni**a fled[00:02:02]
I pump lead now he's in a puddle of red[00:02:04]
And if you got a buck you're sh*t out of luck[00:02:07]
Stuck up by the motherf**kin product[00:02:09]
"Uh-uh motherf**ker you gots to get a job[00:02:11]
If you wanna stay in my motherf**kin house"[00:02:13]
"Many young men reject the traditional values[00:02:15]
That are important to their parents [00:02:17]
Church school and family[00:02:19]
Have been replaced by street turf and gang "[00:02:21]
Twenty-one now and paid in full[00:02:28]
Feelin bad from all the sh*t I pulled[00:02:31]
On people back in the day[00:02:33]
Plus I got a little baby on the way[00:02:35]
So I'm tryin to go straight[00:02:37]
I'm with my baby's momma out on a date[00:02:39]
Til the punk a** cops ran my plate[00:02:41]
Now I'm on a bus upstate[00:02:44]
"Oh the young ni**a done caught a case "[00:02:46]
"Sittin in the mess hall sayin my grace"[00:02:49]
Sent to a concrete hoe-house[00:02:50]
Where all the products go no doubt[00:02:52]
Yo momma I gotta do eleven[00:02:55]
Livin in a five by seven[00:02:56]
Dear baby your man's gettin worn out[00:02:59]
Of seein young boys gettin they assholes torn out[00:03:01]
And then he got shanked with a spoon[00:03:04]
And he was 'sposed to get out soon[00:03:06]
Is it my fault he was caught in production[00:03:07]
Where a young black life means nothin[00:03:10]
Just because I didn't want to learn your grammar[00:03:12]
You say I'm better off in the slammer[00:03:14]
And it's drivin me batty[00:03:16]
Cause my little boy is missin daddy[00:03:18]
I'm ashamed but the fact is[00:03:20]
I wish pops let me off on the mattress[00:03:23]
Or should I just hang from the top bunk[00:03:26]
But that's goin out like a punk[00:03:28]
My life is F**KED [00:03:30]
But it ain't my fault cause I'm the motherf**kin product[00:03:31]
"He ain't sh*t"[00:03:33]
